The maze of Khazad'Akduum pt. 2

[Uural 39]

Spoiler

 

"Rhena, remuv teh stone" Raeghor Onyxheart ordered the dark golem.
Dark golem, as huge as the entrance into the maze, removed the giant stone, placed to keep out something strong and terrifying.
It was not the first time Ghalamorummar ventured into the labyrinth. Last time they were almost killed. Barumnir, the hero, has not been seen since last time.
"T'is toime we be readeh" Nero Onyxheart mumbled.

The maze was different now, no spiders, no draft, no sound. Nothing.
It made the dark dwarves nervous, only the dim light of Raeghor's armour and Rhena's runes showing them the way.



"Et knuws we are 'ere, Kronul." Raeghor stated.
All of a sudden, the sound of charging hooves was heard. It was the charge of death and destruction.
But this time, the dwarves were ready. This time, they had Rhena with them.
It was a loud crash, when flesh met stone, the Minotaur had an equal opponent.




After a while, two rooms became one, as walls were torn down. Raeghor and Nero worked hard to stay out of the way.
"Keep eht buseh, Rhena! Keep eht down!" Raeghor ordered. He lifted his sword, and started aiming the blade into the neck of the minotaur.
But the beast was stronger and smarter, than they thought. It pushed back the golem, not noticing small dwarves planning and scheming their attack.
The golem was a new sight for it, a curiosity. As the construct was lying on its back, the beast plunged its axe towards the belly of stone.
Time was short now, Raeghor knew. He jumped and sliced his blade at the huge neck. The beast grabbed him by throat, turning its inquiring gaze from Rhena.
It was all that was needed.



Rhena rose, kicked the beast on its one knee. Raeghor, now released, sliced again at the neck.
As the wounded minotaur let go of the dwarf's throat, he grabbed it by its horns.
Rhena pushed the heavily bleeding minotaur down, while Raeghor stood on its shoulders and hold the ivory horns tight.
Then, the dark dwarf pulled. He put his back into the pull, using all his strength.

Nero was kicked unconscious at the beginning of the fight.
When he woke, he saw minotaur's head being ripped off of its shoulders and a golem, showered in blood.
It was then, when the dwarves discovered a pair of stairs, which led deeper into the darkness of the maze.
The minotaur was guarding it.
